What if Jesus was right-but right in different ways than we ever realized? What if many of us have carried on a religion that somewhere along the way missed rich and radical treasures hidden in the essential message of Jesus of Nazareth? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcLaren calls us to look hard, think deeply, and search long with him...even if the answers overturn our conventional ideas, priorities, and practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Through the years, I have frequently had an uncomfortable feeling,\" writes McLaren, \"that the portrait of Jesus I found in the New Testament didn't fit with the images of Jesus in the church.\" Out of that nagging discomfort arose this ground-breaking book. He writes, \"I'd like to share my search with you, and invite you to be a part of it. I don't want to spoil the ending, but I'll let you in on this: the farther I go on this search, the more inspired, moved, challenged, shocked, and motivated I become about the secret message of Jesus.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian D.
